ENGLISH INQUIRY FOR CARBON TETRACHLORIDE. 



In an inquiry which recently appeared in an English publica- 

 tion for carbon tetra-chloride this statement was made : "Up to 

 the present time we understand that the manufacture of this 

 commodity has been exclusively confined to Germany." 



As a matter of fact there has been a flourishing American in- 

 dustry in this line for more than ten years. It is a by-product 

 of the electrolytic decomposition of salt, which is a large indus- 

 try in this country. 



BATAVIA RUBBER EXHIBITION 



The "Ceylon Observer" of September 4 states that on Sep- 

 tember 3 a telegram was received by Kelway Bamber in that 

 city from the Commissioner-General of the Batavia Rubber Ex- 

 hibition, which said: "Opening 19th October."
